How I AI · Thursday, September 3, 2026
The speaker highlights a shift back towards graphical user interfaces (GUIs) being revitalized by AI like Astra, which can now effectively interact with and manipulate UI elements. This contrasts with previous trends towards command-line interfaces (CLIs) and suggests that AI's ability to use UIs makes them highly valuable again for many applications.
“And what's so fascinating is now we're at this moment where UI is back, baby. Like SAS is your savior because humans really do like a button.”
“And now that you can get AI to click buttons for you and use a UI for you, you sort of don't have to think about these CLIs and MCPS necessarily if the right expression of your product is more of a UI-based thing.”
“So I really do think computer use is incredible.”
